Training Programme for Environmental Managers

Environmental issues like climate change, water availability, pollution, waste generation and disposal are commanding considerable global attention. Industries, as a major user of raw materials and energy and source of pollution and waste generation, have a major role in addressing current and emerging environmental issues. Environment managers in industry have a challenging task to keep industry clean, competitive and compliant with national and international Rules, Acts and Treaties.

Centre for Science and Environment (CSE) had been conducting training programme to build capacity in industry for the past two decades and has trained hundreds of environment managers. This year a five-day training programme is scheduled in August, 2016 in New Delhi.

The takeaway from this training programme includes improved understanding for participants in:

1. Identification of legal requirements under current Acts and Laws related to the environment;

2. Roles and responsibilities of environment managers to comply with such legal requirements and strengthening self regulation mechanism;

3. Processes and procedures to obtain environment and forest clearance, Consent to Establish (CTE), Consents to Operate (CTO), authorization for hazardous wastes and other clearances/licenses;

4. Compliance monitoring and performance monitoring of pollution control equipment and Continous Emission Monitoring System (CEMS)

5. Environment, Health and Safety (EHS) Management System and its implementation;

6. Use of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and Market Based Instruments (MBI) for pollution prevention and control;
